She perked up at his smile, happy to see that her words had made him feel good. But her smile faded with her own, blinking slowly. What... what changed? He looked like there was something on his chest, and she fell silent. Concern bubbled up in her chest, had it been something that she had said? Her weight shifted across her front legs, and she felt like he was holding her breath. When he started to speak, her ears pulled back against her head. She listened to everything thing that he had to say, flinching at the part about his family. After he had said everything, the silence spread between them. Mercy really needed to gather her thoughts, to make sure she said this right. But at the moment, words failed her. So slowly she pushed herself forward, brushing her nose against his jawline, nibbling the point where both jaw bones met. She tugged at his fur, trailing kisses down the side of his neck, licking at his wounded shoulder again. Memories of last night tugged at her brain, and she hummed softly. "Gethin... You didn't treat me like that. You matched me blow for blow, there was no convincing to be had. Just because you don't see the good doesn't mean that it's not there. I saw it, and I see it now. You're trying to warn me about you, that you're not a good guy," she said slowly, pausing to plant more tender kisses around the base of his neck and his chest. Righting herself, she looked into his ruby red eyes. "Just because you've done something in your past doesn't mean that it's going to define your future. You make it what you want to, and push away those things that try to change you. I turned my life around, dropped my last name and made a new one for myself. I chose not to let my family and my past weigh me down, and somehow that led me to you as well. I've never felt stronger, and even though I feel like a piece of my heart is missing... I'm still kicking," Mercy said, her voice almost tender.

She fell silent again, searching his face as she gently pushed her nose against his for a moment. "I... I don't want to push you, Gethin. Or say something that you don't want to hear. But," she cut off, turning her head and looking away from him. "I can see that part of you. You make me feel like never before. I trust you even though we've only met twice now. After one amazing night, you treated me like I've never been before. There was a tenderness in how you held me last night, and now how you're trying to tell me that I'm not crazy. Even though you know... I am a little bit crazy," she said with a smirk, still not looking at him. "There's something special about you, and I just can't place it. But there really is..." She peeked at him out of the corner of her purple eyes, offering a sheepish smile.
